The NOVA is compact to take up little space in labs. It is extremely lightweight and transportable. It consists of state-of-the-art electronics and materials, making it easy to operate and service. And it offers an optional package of product add-ons, called the NOVA Comfort Kit, which allows you to upgrade the processor’s performance with easy-to-fit enhancements. Above all else, it continues the reputation of Agfa NDT equipment for assured performance while yielding a superb price/quality ratio.
As an example, its extremely low consumption of power during processing (a max. of 1700 watts) results in significant cost savings over its lifetime (NOVA is equipped with an intelligent power management system).

Whether you are a company with limited film processing needs or one requiring many processors across multiple locations, the NOVA is an excellent choice. Versatile and accommodating, it is as much at home in a small lab as it is on-site at an extensive pipeline project.

Thoroughly tested with the full line of Agfa NDT films and chemicals, you can use the NOVA with utmost confidence to produce optimal film image results.
The entire Agfa NDT Film Systems is backed by GE’s highly trained technicians and specialists –– experts who stand ready to assist you with technical support and workflow assistance. Like the processor itself, they are focused on delivering quality and performance to make your job easier.
